Hello! I live in a community where there are a lot of hunters, and even though I don't care for the sport myself, when I have to make a card for one of these guys, I pick an image I know they'd appreciate. My favorite masculine image is the old retired Stampin Up! 'Noble Deer'. It's a scenic image that's easy to color because the deer is already shaded for you. From past experience coloring this image, I have found that colored pencils work best. I used watercolor pencils to color this image. For some reason, I've never been able to color this image with Copic Markers.
I chose a masculine style sketch from Splitcoaststampers (SC323), and my papers are from DCWV 'Natural Matstack'. The sentiment is from Crafty Secrets and it is stamped on a tag that I made with a Cuttlebug Die. The only embellishment I added was multiple strands of hemp. I also popped the entire main image panel up on dimensionals.Have a great day! Amy
Happy New Year Amy! :) I remember this stamp and loved it and used it for most of my masculine cards. This is a really great design! Would love to see you put to use your old stamps/stash by joining along with me on Flashback Fridays!! Hugs & Smiles - *Vicki*

Hi Amy. I thought I had left a comment on this card, but apparently either my computer glitched or I got interrupted before publishing the comment.
ReplyDeleteYour card is really beautiful and perfect for a masculine card. I love the way you added the tag with the twine. I have a hard time with masculine cards as well. I did post one on my blog today.
